FIELD

Aspects of the present invention relate to the field of memory devices.

BACKGROUND

A solid-state drive/solid-state disk (SSD) is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit (IC) assemblies as memory to persistently store data. SSD technology typically utilizes electronic interfaces that are compatible with traditional block input/output (I/O) hard disk drives (HDDs), thereby providing easy replacement in many common applications.

A concept referred to as “multi-stream SSD” provides operating systems and applications with interfaces that separately store data with different attributes. These individual data stores are referred to as “streams.” Streams may be used to indicate when different data writes are associated with one another or have a similar lifetime. That is, a group of individual data writes may be a part of a collective stream, and each stream is identified by a stream ID that is assigned by the operating system or a corresponding application. Accordingly, different data having similar characteristics, or attributes, can each be assigned a unique stream ID such that data corresponding to that stream ID can be written to a same block in the SSD.

Currently, some SSDs allow for device-side processing, such as compression or encryption of data within the SSD. Processing data in the SSD may provide numerous benefits, such as reducing host-side processing time and CPU/memory consumption in a manner that may be transparent to applications.

The SSDs of the related art treat all incoming data, such as data with different stream IDs, in the same manner. For example, all incoming data may be compressed and/or encrypted regardless of source or stream ID. However, typically, not all data needs to be compressed or encrypted. For instance, compressing already compressed data may result in larger than original data size due to metadata overhead, and temporary data resulting from data processing may not need to be encrypted.

Moreover, compression and encryption requirements may vary among applications. For examples, some applications may benefit from high compression ratios while others may benefit from high compression speeds. However, these effects cannot generally be achieved at the same time as, for example, high-compression algorithms have slow compression speeds. Furthermore, different applications may require different encryption strengths, such as RSA or AES. Therefore, treating all incoming streams the same way at the SSD can introduce inefficiencies and undesirable results.

The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the invention, and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Features of the inventive concept and methods of accomplishing the same may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, example embodiments will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numbers refer to like elements throughout. The present invention, however, may be embodied in various different forms, and should not be construed as being limited to only the illustrated embodiments herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided as examples so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the aspects and features of the present invention to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, processes, elements, and techniques that are not necessary to those having ordinary skill in the art for a complete understanding of the aspects and features of the present invention may not be described. Unless otherwise noted, like reference numerals denote like elements throughout the attached drawings and the written description, and thus, descriptions thereof will not be repeated. In the drawings, the relative sizes of elements, layers, and regions may be exaggerated for clarity.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and/or the present specification, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense, unless expressly so defined herein.

In the storage stack of the related art, host data from different applications are mixed before sending to the solid-state drive (SSD). All data is compressed or encrypted inside SSD of the related art if the SSD compression or encryption engine is enabled. The compression/encryption engine may be turned off by an administration command if it is known a dataset has a low compression ratio or does not need to be encrypted. However, as there is only one data stream in SSD of the related art, turning off the compression/encryption engine affects data from other applications as well, even when those other applications may have benefited from compression/encryption processing at the SSD.

Accordingly, aspects of the present disclosure provide a multi-stream memory system (e.g., a multi-stream flash drive) including a compression engine and/or an encryption engine and capable of selectively bypassing the compression engine and/or the encryption engine for data streams that cannot benefit from compression and/or encryption. In some embodiments, the multi-stream memory system is capable of selecting an appropriate data processing engine (e.g., a compression engine or an encryption engine) based on application requirements. In some embodiments, the multi-stream memory system selectively compresses and/or encrypts a stream based its stream ID, which may be assigned by either a host or the multi-stream memory system. According to some embodiments, the controller of the multi-stream memory system can automatically determine if a data stream should be compressed based on the corresponding data stream's compression ratio and/or compression speed.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a multi-stream memory system with in-SSD data processing, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a illustrates an example in which the multi-stream memory system bypasses the in-device data processing engines within the SSD for a particular stream, while performing in-device data processing for other streams, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a multi-stream memory system utilizing mid-ware data processing, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the multi-stream memory system 10 includes a multi-stream SSD (e.g., a multi-stream flash drive) 100 with in-device data processing that is in data communication with a host 20. The multi-stream SSD 100 includes an SSD controller 110, an in-device data processor 120, which is internal to and integrated with the multi-stream SSD 100, and a non-volatile memory including a plurality of memory devices 130-1 to 130-M (where M is an integer greater than 1). In some examples, the memory devices 130 may be flash memory devices (e.g., NAND flash memory devices).

The SSD controller 110 facilitates the transfer of data between the host 20 and the SSD 100 through a plurality of streams 1 to N (where N is an integer greater than 1). In some embodiments, the SSD controller 110 includes a host interface layer 112 and a flash translation layer (FTL) 114. The host interface layer 112 fetches application I/O requests from the host 20, translates the I/O requests into SSD internal read/write transactions and schedules them to the FTL 114. The flash translation layer (FTL) 114 acts as a translation layer between the sector-based file system of the host 20 and the memory devices 130 of the SSD 100. The host interface layer 112 and the FTL 114 may be implemented in software and/or hardware. The FTL 114 provides the operating system and the file system on the host side access to the memory devices 130 and ensures that they behave (or appear) as one block storage device. In some examples, the FTL 114 hides the complexity of flash by providing a logical block interface to the flash memory device 130 by mapping the host's logical addresses to the flash memory's physical addresses in a logical to physical (LtoP) table.

The data processor 120 acts as an embedded computer within the SSD 100 and performs in-device data processing, such as compression/decompression, encryption/decryption, searching operations, and/or graphics processing, for incoming and outgoing streams of data. The data processor 120 shifts processing close to where the data is stored and thus reduces the need to move data, which may be an expensive operation in terms of time and energy. For example, when running a search, normally, large amounts of data on the storage device would have to be moved over to the host, and searched on the host. However, with the in-device data processor 120, one can send the inquiry to the SSD 100 itself, and have the data processor 120 perform the search, and simply return the result. As shown in FIG. 1, the data processor 120 may include one or more compression engines 122, one or more encryption engines 124, one or more deduplication engines 125, one or more search engines 126, and/or one or more graphics processing engines 128. However, embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and any suitable engine may be contained within the data processor 120. In some examples, the one or more compression engines 122 may perform at least one of brotli, gzip, libdeflate, lzfse, and zstd compressions, and the one or more encryption engines 124 may perform at least one of chacha20-ietf, aes-256-gcm, aes-256-cfb, aes-256-ctr, and camellia-256-cfb encryptions.

According to some embodiments, the SSD controller 110 selectively applies data processing to streams based on their stream ID. In the multi-stream SSD, each input/output stream may be identified by a unique stream ID, which may be encoded in the I/O command (e.g., by the host). The SSD controller 110 may enable or disable a particular data processing engine for a given stream ID based on a stream assignment table, which maps each stream ID to one or more actions to be taken by the SSD 100. The actions may, for example, include data placement, compression, encryption, search, and graphics processing. In some embodiments, the stream assignment table is coded in the firmware of the SSD 100, and is made available to the host 20. Therefore, each application running at the host 20 may determine an appropriate stream ID to use for its intended purpose.

Table 1 below illustrates an example of the stream assignment table in a multi-stream SSD 100 supporting 8 streams.

TABLE 1 Stream Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Purpose Data Data Data Data Data Data Data Data placement placement placement placement placement placement placement placement Comp. Comp. Comp. Encrp. Encrp. Search Comp. Eng. 1 Eng. 2 Eng. 3 Eng. 1 Eng. 2 Eng. Eng. 1 Encrp. Eng. 2

As shown in table 1, each stream ID may be associated with a particular physical address at the SSD 100. For example, each stream ID may be associated with a different one of the flash memory devices 130. However, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and two or more stream IDs may be associated with a single physical address or memory device 130 within the SSD 100. Additionally, each stream ID may be associated with one or more data processing engines, or not be associated with any data processing engine. For example, in Table 1, stream IDs 1 to 3 are associated with compression engines 1 to 3, stream ID 7 is associated with both the compression engine 1 and the encryption engine 2, and stream ID 8 is not associated with any in-device processing engine.

In some embodiments, when a stream of data arrives at the SSD 100, the SSD controller 110 (e.g. the host interface layer 112) checks the stream ID of the incoming data, and based on the stream assignment table, determines what engines to direct the data to, and if no engine is specified for the stream ID, to bypass the data processor 120 entirely (i.e., to not apply any of the engines in the data processor 120). The bypassing of the compression and encryption engines for stream 8 in the example of Table 1 is also visualized in FIG. 2.

In some embodiments, after applying the appropriate data processing engine, the SSD controller 110 tags each unit of processed data with the appropriate engine ID, and proceeds to store the data in the corresponding location in the memory devices 130, which is based on the corresponding data placement indicated in the stream assignment table. In some examples, once a unit of data is processed by a data processor 120 (e.g., is compressed and/or encrypted), the FTL 114 records the corresponding engine ID(s) in the meta data of the processed data, and stores it along with the processed data in the corresponding memory device(s). In some examples, a unit of data may be a logical page or a group of pages that fit in a mapping entry size (e.g. 4KB) in FTL.

When the host 20 sends a read request for the stored data, the SSD controller 110 (e.g., the FTL 114) determines what operation was performed on the stored data based on its meta data, and directs the data processor 120 to perform the opposite operation. For example, when the data processor 120 compresses/encrypts a particular stream data during a write operation, the SSD controller 110 automatically instructs the data processor 120 to decompress/decrypt the data when being read back by the host 20.

Knowledge of the stream assignment table allows applications of the host 20 to select an appropriate in-SSD processing when it is beneficial to the host 20 and/or SSD 100, and to bypass (e.g., not apply) in-SSD data processing when such operations confer little to no benefit to the host 20 or the SSD 100. As an example, in the case of Table 1 and FIG. 2, when data from Application C (shown in FIG. 2) has a low compression ratio, such that the SSD 100 cannot benefit from compressing data from application C, the application may select to use stream ID 8, which bypasses (e.g., does not apply) the compression engines of the data processor 120, thus improving the performance (e.g., increase bandwidth) of the multi-stream SSD 100.

As illustrated in Table 1, in some examples, the data processor 120 may include different types of compression engines (e.g., deflate (RFC-1951), ZLIB (RFC-1950), GZIP (RFC-1952), etc.) compression engines and/or different types of encryption engines (e.g., RSA, AES, etc.), a data stream may be routed to compression/encryption engine that best fits the data stream's compression/encryption requirement.

According to some embodiments, the SSD controller 110 is capable of selecting an appropriate stream ID for a given stream. For example, the SSD controller 110 may monitor (e.g., in real time) the compression ratio of a stream undergoing compression, and when the stream's compression ratio is less than a threshold, the SSD controller 110 may redirect the stream to bypass the compression engine, by changing its stream ID (to, e.g., a bypass stream ID). This stream ID change for bypassing purposes may be performed internally and temporarily, and may not be communicated to the host 20. According to some examples, the SSD controller 110 may monitor the data being stored and bypass deduplication if desired.

While FIG. 1 illustrates embodiments in which the data processor 120 is internal to and integrated with the SSD 100, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, FIG. 3 illustrates embodiments in which the data processor 120-1 resides at a middleware system 200 external to the SSD 100-1. The middleware system 200 may reside in the cloud, or between a host operating system and the applications running on it. In such examples, the data processor 120-1 may be the same or substantially the same as the data processor 120 of the embodiments of FIG. 1, and the middleware system 200 may include an application interface layer 112-1 that processes I/O requests from the host applications, similar to host interface layer 112 of the embodiments of FIG. 1. In some embodiments, the middleware controller 210 processes the input streams (e.g., performs the stream ID detection process) described above with respect to FIGS. 1 and 2 and is capable of bypassing one or more data-processing engines as described above with respect to FIGS. 1 and 2. The middleware system 200 maintains the stream ID of the processed data so the host interface layer 112 of the multi-stream SSD 100-1 may identify/separate I/O streams based on stream ID and allow streams to be stored at their corresponding locations within the memory devices 130.

perform stream ID-based placement on the processed data received from the middleware system 200, as described above.

FIG. 4 is a flow diagram illustrating a method 300 of processing an input stream in a multi-stream memory system, according to some example embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, upon receiving an input stream (e.g., from a host that associates the input stream with a stream ID), the SSD 100 identifies the stream ID of the input stream (S302). The SSD 100 then identifies a first data processing engine among a plurality of data processing engines of an in-device data processor 120 as being associated with the stream ID based on a stream assignment table (S304). The stream assignment table may map a plurality of stream IDs comprising the identified stream ID to the plurality of data processing engines. The SSD 100 then applies the first data processing engine to the input stream to generate processed data, which may be stored within the SSD 100 (S306). In some embodiments, the plurality of data processing engines includes a second data processing engine that is not associated with the stream ID. Here, the SSD 100 identifies the second data processing engine as not being associated with the stream ID based on the stream assignment table, and bypasses (e.g., does not apply) the second data processing engine for the processed data.

A method of processing an input stream in a multi-stream memory system, the method comprising: identifying a stream ID of an input stream; identifying a first data processing engine of an in-device data processor as being associated with the stream ID based on a stream assignment table, the in-device data processor comprising a second data processing engine; and applying the first data processing engine to the input stream to generate processed data.
 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the stream assignment table maps a plurality of stream IDs comprising the stream ID to a plurality of data processing engines comprising the first and second data processing engines.
 19. The method of claim 17, further comprising: identifying the second data processing engine as not being associated with the stream ID based on the stream assignment table; and in response to the identifying, bypassing the second data processing engine for the processed data.
 20. The method of claim 17, further comprising: receiving the input stream from a host, wherein the host associates the input stream with the stream ID.
